Living in a world where the divide between the lives we live online and offline aren’t so different, it’s not unimaginable to think that eventually we’ll want our Internet landscape to be treated as such—as land—with urban growth boundaries, historic landmark preservation, land trusts, and the like. I don’t know what our parks would look like, but I can imagine spaces devoted purely to rest or meditation. And they are needed because right now, there are barely any regulations to prevent a frontier where capitalism runs wild and free, blinking with ads day and night.
